The effect of CaCl 2 on the micromorphology of a self-thickening agent (TZXJ) was investigated. This study involved analyzing the compositional changes in acid solutions during acid–rock reactions. It combined dynamic light scattering and viscosity testing to confirm that the presence of CaCl 2 enhances the aggregation strength of the TZXJ network structure in acid solutions. This enhancement is macroscopically evident as an increase in viscosity. Incorporating 10 % CaCl 2 as a promoter into a fresh acid solution, the hydrodynamic radius (Rh) distribution of TZXJ in varying reaction stages was analyzed using dynamic light scattering experiments. The results indicated that the promoter CaCl 2 further strengthens the network association of the TZXJ acid solution, thereby improving its thickening capability. Investigating the viscosity of TZXJ aqueous solutions with varying concentrations of CaCl 2 revealed that TZXJ exhibits notable salt-thickening effects and can withstand saturated CaCl 2 solutions. The microstructural aggregation state and morphology of TZXJ in aqueous solutions were characterized at different CaCl 2 concentrations. Dynamic light scattering results demonstrated an increase in the Rh of TZXJ solutions with CaCl 2 concentrations. In particular, the mean Rh of a 0.8 % TZXJ solution increased from 150.8 nm to 3078.93 nm. Ultraviolet spectral analysis confirmed that the absorption intensity of the TZXJ solutions increased with CaCl 2 concentration, indicating a strengthened network aggregate structure in the TZXJ solutions. Microscopic observations using environmental scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy revealed that under the influence of calcium chloride, the microstructure of TZXJ transitions from a non-associated, linear carbon chain skeleton to a dense, aggregated network structure. The findings of this study offer theoretical insights for researching polymers resistant to extreme concentrations of CaCl 2 .

AlN-SiC porous composite ceramics were fabricated by heat-treating Al 4 SiC 4 porous ceramic green body prepared using the foaming method under flowing nitrogen. The porous structure could provide increased nitrogen diffusion channels, leading to a decrease in N 2 diffusion resistance and an increasing degree of nitridation. The micro-morphology of AlN was in the form of particles or whiskers and influenced by heating temperature and time parameters. AlN has good dispersibility with SiC particles, resulting in local homogeneous chemical composition of prepared AlN-SiC composite ceramics. Furthermore, the potential reaction mechanism responsible for the synthesis of AlN-SiC porous composite ceramics during the nitridation was revealed. This simple approach may be used for large-scale synthesis of AlN-SiC porous composite ceramics.

Bamboo is a sustainable and environment-friendly polymer. In order to investigate the effect of photoaging on the service-life of bamboo, ultraviolet aging (UV-aging), light-avoidance −90 %RH (AL-90 %RH), light-avoidance (AL) and control were continuously monitored for 26 weeks under four kinds of light conditions. The surface color, micro-morphology and surface interfacial composition of comparing various bamboo samples during storage. The results showed that the total color difference for the cortex (9.758 ± 0.712) and pith (1.325 ± 0.075) under AL conditions were lower than the other three sets of storage conditions, and L* values were reduced by 56.42 % and 53.73 %, respectively. In addition, microflora and grooves were formed on the surface of bamboo stored under AL-90 %RH conditions. Meanwhile, catheters were the main channels for the propagation of mycelium in bamboo. Moreover, the Cox/unox value (an oxygenated to unoxygenated carbon ratio of 0.964) increased sharply under these conditions. UV-aging destroyed the texture and structure of bamboo tissue cells and surfaces, degraded the surface lignin content by 18.89 %, and exposed more observable hemicellulose and cellulose functional groups, thus increasing the carbon binding energy and becoming more difficult to degrade. Finally, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network model was used to predict the fading of the surface color and the volatile compounds after aging, and different photoaging color indication systems were established. Exploring the aging mechanism of bamboo during storage is important for promoting the development of bamboo industry and replacing plastic products, and helping in determine the practical applications of the proposed strategies, their economic benefits and limiting of bamboo photodegradation under optimal warehousing conditions. This meet the current requirements of sustainable development by preserving bamboo resources and use instead renewable resources for both environmental and economic benefit.

Dialdehyde cellulose nanocrystals (DCNC) are defined as C2 and C3 aldehyde nanocellulose, which can be used as raw materials for nanocellulose derivatization , owing to the high activity of aldehyde groups. Herein, a comparative study in NaIO 4 pre-oxidation and synchronous oxidation is investigated for DCNC extraction via choline chloride (ChCl)/urea-based deep eutectic solvent (DES). Ring-liked DCNC with an average particle size of 118 ± 11 nm, a yield of 49.25 %, an aldehyde group content of 6.29 mmol/g, a crystallinity of 69 %, and rod-liked DCNC with an average particle size of 109 ± 9 nm, a yield of 39.40 %, an aldehyde group content of 3.14 mmol/g, a crystallinity of 75 % can be extracted via optimized DES treatment combined with pre-oxidation and synchronous oxidation, respectively. In addition, the average particle size, size distribution, and aldehyde group content of DCNC were involved. TEM , FTIR , XRD, and TGA results reveal the variation of microstructure, chemical structure, crystalline structure, and thermostability of two kinds of DCNC during extraction even though the obtained DCNC exhibiting different micromorphology , pre-oxidation, or synchronous oxidation during ChCl/urea-based DES treatment can be considered as an efficient approach for DCNC extraction.

Studying the influence of nanomaterials on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cells is essential to guide the biological applications of nanomaterials. In this article, the effects of the first synthesized PDA@CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with multiple ROS scavenging activities on cell ultra-morphology and mechanical properties were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). After the cells were exposed to PDA@CeO2 NPs, there was no obvious change in cell morphology, but the Young's modulus of the cells was increased. On the contrary, after the cells were damaged by H2O2, the secreted molecules appeared on the cell surface, and the Young's modulus was decreased significantly. However, PDA@CeO2 NPs could effectively inhibit the reduction of the Young's modulus caused by oxidative stress damage. PDA@CeO2 NPs could also protect F-actin from oxidative stress damage and maintain the stability of the cytoskeleton. This work investigates the intracellular antioxidant mechanism of nanomaterials from the changes in the microstructure and biomechanics of living cells, providing a new analytical approach to explore the biological effects of nanomaterials.

Water flooding is one of widely used technique to improve oil recovery from conventional reservoirs, but its performance in low-permeability reservoirs is barely satisfactory. Besides adding chemical agents, ultrasonic wave is an effective and environmental-friendly strategy to assist in water flooding for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in unconventional reservoirs. The acoustic frequency plays a dominating role in the EOR performance of ultrasonic wave and is usually optimized through a series of time-consuming laboratory experiments. Hence, this study proposes an unsupervised learning method to group low-permeability cores in terms of permeability, porosity and wettability. This grouping algorithm succeeds to classify the 100 natural cores adopted in this study into five categories and the water flooding experiment certificates the accuracy and reliability of the clustering results. It is proved that ultrasonic waves can further improve the oil recovery yielded by water-flooding, especially in the oil-wet and weakly water-wet low-permeability cores. Furthermore, we investigated the EOR mechanism of ultrasonic waves in the low-permeability reservoir via scanning electron microscope observation, infrared characterization, interfacial tension and oil viscosity measurement. Although ultrasonic waves cannot ameliorate the components of light oil as dramatically as those of heavy oil, such compound changes still contribute to the oil viscosity and oil-water interfacial tension reductions. More importantly, ultrasonic waves may modify the micromorphology of low-permeability cores and improve the pore connectivity.
